At Keep Australia Beautiful
WA (KABWA), we strive for a litter-free Western Australia through community
awareness and engagement, education, legislation and enforcement strategies.
Our programs and initiatives aim to educate the community about litter issues
and promote a cleaner and more sustainable Western Australia.
Our Litter Report Scheme
allows community members to report littering from vehicles, which may result in
a litter infringement being issued. Our research suggests that a large
proportion of infringements are issued to people from non-English speaking
backgrounds, which has prompted us to develop some simple posters to
communicate the anti-litter message. The posters were developed in consultation
with culturally and linguistically diverse groups. We hope the poster
information will alert those who may not be aware of Western Australia’s litter
laws, and the $200 infringement for littering.
We have included several
copies of the poster with this letter and we would appreciate you displaying
them in a prominent place on campus, in particular areas frequented by
international students. Having your help and commitment will improve awareness
of the litter laws, Keep Australia Beautiful WA and promote a cleaner and safer
environment.
KABWA also has additional
resources available that are aimed at encouraging people to keep Australia
beautiful. These resources can easily be obtained from the KABWA website:
